Adames, who primarily plays shortstop, has received work at every position in the infield this year after hitting .353 in the Dominican Winter League.

"I worked to hit the ball the other way, every time, and I played all three positions -- third, second, short," said Adames. "I worked in the Dominican on my running, and it's helped me with my defense."

Ynoa is just glad to have the opportunity to play in the majors at some point this year.

"Most of my teammates got called up, and I was frustrated -- it's tough when you see you are part of a winning team, playing every day and putting your effort in and you're still stuck in the same spot," Ynoa said. "I went to the Fall League and every year I was an everyday player. But that's life. Nothing is easy.

(3/3/15) Rockies infielder Rafael Ynoa took advantage of his first opportunity with the team after being called up last September, but he's aware of the aspects of his game that need work if he's to stick on the major-league roster, the Denver Post reports.

"I need to work more on my swing and my approach defensively," Ynoa said. "I need to be good in all the positions in the infield. So if they need me up there, I’ll be able to do that. Because I know that will be my job."

Ynoa hit .343/.380/.463 in 67 at-bats during his 19 games with the Rockies last season. He then hit hit .293 in the Dominican winter league before shutting it down, per the team's request.
